It bothers me how pretty this is. Like, the best logo you can never use anywhere.
It is the logo of magic the gathering circlejerk sub on reddit
Change the colours up to the gayest possible and you’re good
No homo.
“Dear God, please help us kill the poors and the gays and the brown and blacks. Amen.”
Hey, guys, I don’t think Jesus would approve of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, but keep pretending that you are holier than me.
In their view, he would. They believe that Jesus wants people to give directly to charity, not to create government programs for it.
You weren’t there, you can’t say that, you don’t know that for sure.
I’m just going to assume these are republicans and furthermore call them scumbags, hypocrites, and heretics.
Matthew 6
1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
I don’t know how anyone takes them seriously. They should be laughed out of the room and shunned by polite society. But there are a lot of bullshit “christian” churches peddling nonsense, I guess.
Was just about to quote this. Seems like they really read the book. 🤡
Just one more part of the books they have never bothered with
Am I the only one finding this disgusting?
Dear god, please help us know how best to please the antichrist. Thx.
Praying to the dark lord Erebus no doubt
PrayerCirclejerkEven when I was in that kind of group, I would feel embarrassed about pushing in a group. I didn’t realize I didn’t believe it yet, but that always felt odd and embarrassing in a group, and so pointless when alone.
I was still too brainwashed to think anything of it, but part of me always knew.
“Oh yeah, that’s definitely settled: John has the biggest one! Ok folks, zip up before they realize what we’re doing!”
Disgusting pieces of shit. Reminds me of Jesus calling out the pharisees for praying in public, performatively. Not to mention they are going to ruin people’s lives with that bill! Poor people are going to die so they can cut taxes for the rich!
There’s nothing mildly infuriating about this. Just full on infuriating
You will never convince me that shit like this is more than just performative play-acting for the sake of their base.
They aren’t actually fucking praying. They don’t actually believe any of this shit. It’s a tool used to keep the support of their base of white christian nationalists.
That’s why we see them doing shit like this now than every before.
In a world where more liberal minded Christians are balking at how “unchristian” these idiots are turning out to be, they have to make these shows louder and more obvious…and make damn sure there’s a camera around, so that they can play even harder to the more extreme supporters.
If they were to quietly go about their business with no “performative acts of faith”, more people would recognize them as the monsters they are.
But with shit like this, 81 year old grandparents the country over can look at them and say “I don’t understand what they’re doing, but they MUST be the good guys because look how christian they are…”
If anyone thinks America is getting out of this without resorting to firing squads and hanging these fuckers upside down in town squares, they’re naive as fuck.
They don’t actually believe any of this shit.
I agree with everything else that you’re saying, but I wouldn’t be so sure about this. Have you ever noticed how it’s much easier to start online flame wars when you actually believe in the batshit stance that you’re arguing as opposed to pretending to believe it for the sake of trolling? I think it’s a similar thing here. I don’t think humans are that good at compartmentalising, so in order to do something performatively so often and so well you have to trick your mind into actually believing it in a sort of corrupt way. I know this makes me sound like a middleschooler, but I think George Orwell’s concept of doublethink is very much real in cases like these.
The most worrying thing is that I think they do believe (a form of) it. They believe their god is helping them maintain power, and is helping people.
They just don’t see us as ‘people’.
They absolutely do believe in this shit. They’re a bunch of evil idiots.
Fucking cult!
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
The bible also says to take care of the poor and a bunch of other stuff they actively work against.
The poor stakeholders you mean?
Exactly. But performative acts like this play to their base. And their base is almost exclusively people who haven’t read the very book they profess to follow.
Most athielsts (myself included) have read more of the bible than any of these people ever have.
While I’m sure that some are just cosplaying as Christians, i have no doubt that there are true believers there. I mean, RFK doesn’t believe in germ fucking theory, so we know that being crazy is no hindrance from getting power. Is it really so hard to believe that Americans elected Congressmen who believe the earth is 6000 years old?
Their god is a vindictive evil fucker. A god of hate, and they mirror themselves in his image.
The observation from the words that I would now insist upon is this. – “There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God.” – By the mere pleasure of God, I mean his sovereign pleasure, his arbitrary will, restrained by no obligation, hindered by no manner of difficulty, any more than if nothing else but God’s mere will had in the least degree, or in any respect whatsoever, any hand in the preservation of wicked men one moment.
Johnathan Edwards
Ever see one of those photos with HitlerPig in the middle, with a group of people all with one hand on his shoulder, all with their eyes closed, praying? And there in the middle front, is HitlerPig, who we all know is an absolute Sociopath, and doesn’t believe any of that crap.
So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”
The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
The fact that these liars weren’t struck by lightning while posing for this photo, is proof positive that the God they claim to worship doesn’t exist.
As far as I know, they’re probably huddling on the next power corrupt play to make. Like a football huddle.
Keep religion out of politics, it never EVER ends well.
